restarting without update installation
I'm using win10 and usually restart to update pretty quickly, but this
time when it asked for now, set a time, or Later, twice I chose later. This morning, I saw that the computer had restarted. It must have, because no programs were open. Maybe there was a short power failure. But 10 minutes afte I started using it, I got that same question, when do I want to install updates, now, set a time, or later. How did it manager to restart last night without installing them? Is that because some essential part of installation occurs during normal shutdown and I must have had a crash? Or could it be that it never did restart, but somehow all the programs closed? |

Event Viewer should have an entry about an unplanned shutdown (or words to that effect) if it was a crash. |

It's also dumb enough to not handle it properly. I.e. You could actually install an update, and it would leave the Task Scheduler entry, then when it awakes, it says "why am I awake again" ? Because there is no work to do, so a few minutes later it goes back to sleep. Because it just does a reboot after waking from sleep (to make the Update finish installing), and of course it kills all your running programs... Are you beginning to see who is driving this bus ? It ain't you. ******* https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/win...-in-windows-10 Microsoft.OneConnect Paid Wi-Fi & Cellular Uninstall through UI? = No But there are articles about removal. I guess you would class that as "Store Promotional" as if you were to connect to a paid provider, MS would probably get compensated or something. I tried Googling the term and the word "Review" and didn't see any examples of its usage. Paul |

How can it make an entry in a log if there is a power failure? Does it do it when it restarts? Yes, during restart. Here's an example from one of my PCs from just this morning: Level: Critical Source: Kernel-Power Event ID: 41 Task category: 63 Message: "The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly." |

This is much less important than the question above (for win10) about
the laptop internet. I guess my eyes are failing because I clicked on the line for ng win8 instead of win10 So for you win8 folks, here's another copy. :-) In alt.comp.os.windows-8, on Tue, 12 Feb 2019 10:44:56 -0600, Char Jackson wrote: On Tue, 12 Feb 2019 11:21:40 -0500, micky wrote: I'm using win10 and usually restart to update pretty quickly, but this time when it asked for now, set a time, or Later, twice I chose later. If the win10 box asking when I want to restart showed up when I wasn't at the computer and I never clicked on any of the choices, would it restart right then?

It gives you a delayed time you can set if you ignore it it will force
update and reboot after a certain amount hours have passed does it with windows 7 as well -- AL'S COMPUTERS "micky" wrote in message ...
